She has received the De Bethune Award for the work she conducted during her studies at ÉCAL and the Jewellery Design award by Artsthread Global Graduate Design Show in collaboration with Gucci for her project “Topology of a Body”. Her personal portfolio includes collaborations with Hermès, De Bethune, La Prairie and Dedon.
